DISCARD BCNKER8 AGAIN.
Fake Dairy Inspector.
One of the latest types of swindle
that bas been perpetrated on some of
the unsuspecting farmers of a western
locality waa worked this wise:
about bovine tuberculosis In the state
In question, and, taking their cue from
this, two fellows Joined hands to
fleece the dairymen of the section. JJ
One well dressed, wearing glassesi
and having a professional and learned 1
bearing, went through a neighborhood J J
Inspecting the dairy cowa representing
himself to be a state dairy Inspector, j
r . es
jii une iiimunce wnen ne ran serous
a good looking herd of cows he con
demned a dozen animals as afflicted
with tuberculosis, but he told the far
mer, In leaving, not to say anything
about It, but to sell them for what
ever he could get for shipment out of
the state..
Two or three days after this, fakir
No. 2, Informed on the quiet of what
had been done, came along to the far
mer's place and asked If he had .any
cows for sale., The farmer explained
matters and thought himself lucky to
get 20 a head for the' supposedly dis
eased cattle. ' ,
When he learned a few days later
that the whole business was a fake
pure and simple, the dictionary waa
Inadequate to . furnish words to ex
.i; !;!: . Whether the victim
of the game has recovered his prop
erty or not, has not been learned.
It is a pretty good thing to give the
good-looking, glib-talking stranger a
wide berth unless his Identity can be
established beyond a doubt.

COLONIST SEASON NEAR.1
Next TucMday Sees OiK'uIng of low
Rates Front tho KaM to Oregon.
Next Tuesday will see the opening
of colonist rates from the east, and
It Is only natural to suppose that the
Huntington gateway will again let
hundreds Into Oregon through La
Grande. The rates are similar to those,
of recent colonlntlc Influx and accord
ing to the number of applications for
descriptive literature received by the
O. R. & N. and all commercial bodies
of the state, the number of colonists to
Oregon this year will be even greater
than at any time in the past. Local
Agent Keeney has received the rate
schedulo and It is substantially as be
fore. For $38 colonists can come
from Chicago to any point in Oregon,
with the privilege of stopping over
anywhere in this state. From Omaha.
Council Bluffs and St. Paul the rate Is
$30.
Some of La Grande's boosting last
year will assert Itself this year, for
many who came through the city last
year and tasted of the fruit and saw
the agricultural displays at the Ex
hibit' hall, will either personally or by
letter have Informed eastern friends
of suitable places to locate. .That they
would overlook La Grande Is hardly
likely. -
The real estate offices and the Com
mercial club have been sending out
such literature as it has at hand, and
these bodies, too, look , for result!
from their work.
